A Great Place For A Loved One

The care staff were super friendly and competent. When ever I visited the care staff and activity coordinators were engaging. They had a lot of activities for my loved one to do. They consistently gave feedback on my loved one's participation in activities. They had a clear daily schedule which made it easy to visit. We all greatly appreciated the experience. Betty only had positive feedback. The apartment was a great size for a single person in care. It was climate controlled, had an in unit bathroom. The bathroo

Beautiful, Clean & Caring!

The layout is beautiful, clean and bright. The studio apartment is a nice size, and they provided us with a wardrobe closet, chair, lamp, end table, and a full-size bed (since there was no twin available). This made the move-in easier. It includes housekeeping, laundry, and daily medication administration (by Name Removed). I love the staff, including the front desk (Name Removed). They all seem to enjoy their work. Although my uncle is able to dress himself, I still appreciate the ladies who encourage him to get d

440 By The Bay met wit my husband first, and he was happy to report back that he believed this was a perfect place for our uncle. On the second visit I took my uncle and [Name Removed] gave us a grand tour. At first glance it was like a lovely hotel. On that particular day they had a paint and sip event set-up. We were invited to participate, but we didn't have time. I thought the rooms were spacious and the layout was nice. I especially like the patios on the memory care 2nd floor. All of the worker we met were f

Compassionate Care For A Loved One

What really stood out was how happy my aunt was during her time there—she consistently shared positive feedback when I spoke with her privately. She also really enjoyed the variety of activities offered, which made her experience even better.

My feelings about life at 1440 By The Bay.

One of the best decisions in my life was to have my friends live here. It is truly a worry-free place where they are always safe and cared for. I tried to take on their care on my own but realized it was an impossible situation. I am able to sleep at night knowing they're in great hands. I have been coming here for frequent visits over the past seven years for one of my two friends and three years for her sister. I looked into and tried other places but in the end found 1440 as the right one. There are so many acti

The care partners were great. They took good care of mom. But we left during the ED's departure and the transition period was harsh
